Soybean is perhaps the best representative of an agronomic crop significantly affected by a plant-parasitic nematode in the United States. Soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) is the major pathogen of soybean causing over $1 billion in crop losses annually. SCN is now considered endemic to North America and is spreading as more acres of land are planted in soybean. In the past, chemical control of soybean cyst nematodes was proven to be effective. Most of the older and more cost-effective nematicides were derived from industrial by-products or broad-spectrum insecticidal chemistries. These nematicides were often very stable and lacked target specificity which led to contamination...
Recommendations to growers about corn varieties in rotation with soybeans to reduce incidence of SCN.
The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
